I once worked on code where there were database connection hookups copied and pasted all over, but some had subtle differences in the setup. I had no idea if these were important, deliberate changes, or just random differences | |

...and who knows if these 30 lines are really the same as those other ones that you looked at previously or if somebody switched to a different port or IP address in his/her copy for whatever reason. The implicit assumption that "any bunch of somewhat 30 lines starting with the HttpRequest are all the same" is an easy to make fallacy.
